Oceanmind Systems: AI-Driven Marine Life Intelligence for Climate Prediction and Ocean Ecosystem Stability
Abstract: Oceans regulate global climate systems, support biodiversity, and serve as critical carbon sinks, yet they remain under-monitored relative to their ecological importance. Traditional oceanographic methods rely heavily on satellite sensing, buoy networks, and periodic marine surveys, which often fail to capture real-time biological dynamics at micro-ecosystem levels. This paper introduces OceanMind Systems, an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven marine intelligence framework that integrates marine life behavior, oceanographic data, and computational modeling to …
